U2's Bono undergoes surgery; tour status unclear

The manager of U2 says that frontman Bono has
undergone emergency back surgery in a Munich hospital after he was
injured while preparing for the group's tour.

The 50 year old, whose real name is Paul Hewson, is under the
care of neurosurgeon Dr. Joerg Tonn and Dr. Hans-Wilhelm
Mueller-Wohlfahrt, according to a statement on U2's website.

Mueller-Wohlfahrt could not be reached for comment.

Band manager Paul McGuinness, in an MP3 posted on the website,
said Friday that because of the injury, the band's "360-Degree" June 3 show in Salt Lake City, Utah, has been postponed. It was not
immediately clear if other dates also were canceled.

U2 is scheduled to play in Minneapolis at TCF Bank Stadium on Sunday, June 27.

McGuinness says, "We hope to get things resolved as soon as
possible."
